Which artists don't sell their art?

[TStrong-migration]

I've been trying to find Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen) artwork without success. Then a friend told me that Jimmie doesn't sell originals. At least, not yet.

 

I was also told that Jo Chen doesn't sell her original artwork. Jim Balent, too, but inker pages are out there if you collect CATWOMAN.

 

Are there other artists not selling their artwork? Does anyoe know of a reason why they wouldn't want to sell their artwork?

Bill Watterson from Calvin and Hobbes fame

[Eric Seffinga]

Kelley Jones doesn't sell stuff anymore, or at least not much. I'd have to think on it a bit but there's a bunch who don't.

Adrian Tomine of Optic Nerve fame

Dave Sim of Cerebus fame

A few more that come to mind are:

 

David Aja

Chris Samnee

Dave Johson (for the most part)

 

Malvin

[Brian Peck]

Walt Simonson

Andy Kubert

Adam Kubert

Joe Kubert

 

[Mighty Hal]

But which artists don't have any of their OA out there?

 

I've seen Kubert/Kubert/Kubert, Simonson, Johnson, Balent, Sim, Jones originals offered (although not cheaply, possibly in part because of scarcity)....

[Ares]

I dont think Eric Larsen sells his art

[Stronguy]

Sergio Aragones doesn't sell his originals. I don't think Tone Rodriguez (Violent Messiahs, Snake Plissken) is selling. Frank Cho still has all of the Liberty Meadows stuff.

Andy/Adam Kubert will sell if you make an offer they can't refuse through Spencer

Jeff Smith - Bone

[malvin]

Don't forget too that even if some artists (pencillers) won't sell their art, the inkers will.

 

I do know of a case on an inker who won't sell a penciller's art b/c that penciller doesn't sell his art (the inker sells art he inks from other pencillers)

What about Art Spiegelman?

 

I've been trying to find a Maus page and have yet to see one. I assume he would make this list?

[jimjum12]

I think Mark Schultz , of Cadilacs and Dinosaurs falls into this category...and what about Cho....don't see much of his stuff available. I would love a page from either of those two.GOD BLESS...

Cho sells some of his pages, they are just too expensive for mere normal collectors!

 

Malvin

[wormboy]

I've had no luck finding a Ladronn piece, and was told he doesn't sell his art.

Ever wonder why there aren't many Bissette & Totleben

Swamp Thing pages available?

Given the prolific run from ST #16-64

You might find this link's explanation interesting:

****Rick Veitch also assisted (uncredited) on many issues to help meet deadlines.

All 3 are 1st year graduates of the Joe Kubert Comic Artist Academy.

Kind of the "Artists Studio" of the 80's.

You can find Mark Schultz originals out there -- prelims, covers, although I haven't seen any panel pages -- but be prepared to spend.

 

The gorgeous stuff that you really want starts in the high four figures and goes up from there.

Thanks for the link. Interesting, indeed.

Albert Moy sells Eric's artwork and has a decent inventory of the stuff.

It has been said that a house fire burned many originals which would explain the lack of material.
